  1. My boyfriend asked if I would post and get an opinion or two.......... He is looking to find a tuner chip for an 08 Edge Limited. He has narrowed the field to three choices and wants to find the best one overall. Looking for one that will not take a toll on the mileage while improving performance. (and a partridge in a pear tree would be nice too....) The choices are 1. Superchips 2. Hypertech 3. Jet Performance Products Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Kelly

    Forum ISSUES

    I have not had any issues with being logged out, or finding new posts. It might be an issue with your pc..........
  3. Wow I wish gas was only 1.23/L here. In my town it ranges from 1.28 - 1.32. But I know what you mean about the gas usage. Definitely not for the faint of heart - or light of wallet!!
  4. *Note* this information was posted by my boyfriend Warm the motor up with a few moments of normal driving. Then drive it hard for about 5 to 10 minutes, including gearing down the transmission manually to generate some engine braking....ie. pull it down to 2nd gear and make the motor hold back some to. Then accelerate hard, and engine brake again. Then park it, lt it idle down for 30 to 60 seconds, and shut it off. Let it cool for an hour or more, and repeat the original step. Do this about 5 times, and then change the oil and filter. Its now broken in. Baby an engine, and it will never generate perfect ring seal. And metal parts need to be heat cycled too. Change the oil early on as well, do not leave it in the motor full of crap for long. If you need more info GOOGLE "Motoman" and read up. As a mechanic I have rebuilt, modded and broken in many engines. Drive it slow, and it will always be slow.....my 2 cents

    Trip To Italy

    +1 If my DH had the opportunity to do the same, I might be bummed that he got to go and I didnt. I might be sad that I would miss him. I might even be pissed that he gets to jet off and leave me with the business, kids and all the household duties. BUT would I say NO or Have a fit?? Not on your life. The chance to do something so cool........just doesnt come around every day. If the shoe was on the other foot and I had the opportunity, and my DH threw a fit, and said NO. If he was totally unreasonable, I would have to question our relationship.......... let us know how it goes..............
  6. Good to know. It is my color of choice for an Edge :yup:
  7. My boyfriend thought it was funny that the GT 500 KR couldnt out run an Edge.
  8. Thanks - I am definitely leaning toward the Silver Vapor at this point. I think I will just have to see it in person to seal the deal!
  9. Hey RayoVac I have been lurking around here for a while, but this is my first post. I am looking to get an Edge Limited this year, and Silver Vapor and Black are the colors I am trying to decide on. Having lived with your Silver Vapor for a while now, what do you think of it? Does it have its first scratch and if so, does it show up or does the lighter color cover it somewhat? How much does it take for it to start to look "dirty"? I am living in the city right now, but later this year we are looking to move to a rural town. And a place with lots of snow in winter. Do you have any good tips for me? Thanks! Gate292
